Doctors took radiographs to look at the different joints and bones in her right wing. They also took radiographs of the left (good) wing so they could compare them. The good news: no broken or dislocated bones. That made the vets suspect a soft tissue injury, which is very hard to diagnose. Her wing joints had become stiff after days with no flying. Then we went back to the isolated room. I held #735 as we gave her oxygen to help clear the sleeping medicine out of her system. We played the brood call as she began to wake up to help stimulate her. Once she was more fully awake and squirming around, I put her down. But I held onto her because she was still a bit wobbly. We put her back in the box when she could walk, shake, and preen on her own. Photo: Anna Fasoli
